Acerca del autor

L.H. Myers was born in Cambridge in 1881 into a distinguished scholarly family. He was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, with a brief interlude in Germany. He travelled widely after his father's death and mixed in many literary circles both in England and abroad but refused to commit himself to any single movement, and wrote his major works in self-enforced artistic isolation. These include THE POOL OF VISNU, which was intended to complete the story told in the books of this trilogy. The philosophical content of his novels shows his growing idealism, but this was matched by a sense of personal despair, and in 1944 he committed suicide.
